I know Sandy is MB's personal catcher, but it's awfully hard to justify sitting Olivo down while he's this hot.

I love the continuity of the starting line-up. Outside of Harris/Uribe, and Sandy being in to catch for Buehrle, you can count on the same guys starting every day. Probably not too much fun for the Ross Gload's, but I like it all the same.

Beltran is killing us. They should just walk him for the rest of the game.

I'm starting to worry about Frank. I think it's safe to say he's in a slump and not just "adjusting."

It's definitely possible. In fairness, though, A-Rod is hitting only .212, so it's not like other guys aren't struggling, too. I just hope he snaps out of it.

Frank always starts out cold... Except in his MVP seasons when he came out of the Gates strong.... He usually starts hitting Mid May if I remember correctly...

Last year, he hit his first home run in the Sox fifth game, against Detroit.

For the record, Frank's first home run in 1993, arguably his best season, came a full three weeks into the season, on April 26. He finished with 41 that season.

Frank also took awhile to hit his first home run in 1997. He won the batting title that season. I'm dissapointed, too, but let's not lose sight of the big picture here. The team is winning, and that's what counts.

The Sox go 1-2-3 in the fourth. I think that GIDP by Maggs sucked the life out of their bats. It reminds me of last season, and the one before, and the one before, and the one before that.

Is anyone watching the game now? I can only hear it but they sound absolutely lifeless out there today. This is killing me that we cant seem to hold a lead for longer than an inning or two against this team. I mean do we have to score 15 runs before the starters will start pitching well enough to hold a lead? This is nuts.

neither. you know how a baserunner does that hop towards the next base AFTER the pitch has been thrown--grabbing a couple of extra feet if the pitch is put into play? that's what uribe did but he did it when anderson still had the ball. Anderson's pickoff move wasn't even that good--must have been his B move.
